Corporate Overview
 Automation Technology, Inc. ("ATI", or the "Company") is a provider of web-based collaborative outage work-scope planning software for the electrical power generation industry. Sitting outside of installed CMMS/EAM and ERP systems, the Company's software provides plant owners, managers, engineers, OEMs and other outside service vendors immediate access to a single integrated view of maintenance, monitoring/diagnostic, scheduling, and inspection data accessible via a web browser. ATI's value proposition, simply stated, is to help eliminate outage extension and avoid unscheduled downtime of complex capital-intensive equipment through efficient planning.
As much as 24% of an overall plant operating budget can be spent during a planned power outage, which may be as short as 2 weeks and up to 8 weeks in duration. Inadequate planning of outage workscope is a major cause of downtime extension resulting in lost revenue and the high probability of an unplanned outage if maintenance/repair/replace tasks are overlooked. It is critical that all necessary maintenance resources, activities, procedures and spare parts are known, scheduled and available as planned far in advance. To address this issue, equipment operators are involving OEMs and third party service providers with assessment expertise, in the planning process. Coordinating activity of this scale requires a collaborative asset outage-planning tool to ensure a timely startup of the plant.
